In the
seventeenth** year of
Pekah the
son of
Remaliah Ahaz the
son of
Jotham king of
Judah began to
reign.

Twenty years old was
Ahaz when he began to
reign, and
reigned sixteen* years in
Jerusalem, and
did not that which was
right in the
sight of the
LORD his
God, like
David his
father.

But he
walked in the
way of the
kings of
Israel, yea, and made his
son to pass
through the
fire, according to the
abominations of the
heathen, whom the
LORD cast
out from
before the
children of
Israel.

And he
sacrificed and burnt
incense in the high
places, and on the
hills, and under every
green tree.

Then
Rezin king of
Syria and
Pekah son of
Remaliah king of
Israel came
up to
Jerusalem to
war: and they
besieged Ahaz, but
could not
overcome him.

At that
time Rezin king of
Syria recovered Elath to
Syria*, and
drave the
Jews from
Elath: and the
Syrians came to
Elath, and
dwelt there unto this
day.

So
Ahaz sent messengers to
Tiglathpileser king of
Assyria, saying, I am thy
servant and thy
son: come
up, and
save me out of the
hand of the
king of
Syria, and out of the
hand of the
king of
Israel, which rise
up against me.

And
Ahaz took the
silver and
gold that was
found in the
house of the
LORD, and in the
treasures of the
king's house, and
sent it for a
present to the
king of
Assyria.

And the
king of

king of
Assyria went
up against
Damascus, and
took it, and carried the people of it
captive to
Kir, and
slew Rezin.

And
king Ahaz went to
Damascus to
meet Tiglathpileser king of
Assyria, and
saw an
altar that was at
Damascus: and
king Ahaz sent to
Urijah the
priest the
fashion of the
altar, and the
pattern of it, according to all the
workmanship thereof.
